8. The KDM is powered from a low voltage, energy limited
source. Mount the KDM outside of a control panel when
it is protected from mechanical damage.
1.Use to provide a connection between the subbase and the control panel of the
equipment. Earth ground must be capable of conducting enough current to blow the
20A fuse (or breaker) in the event of an internal short circuit.
2.Use wide straps or brackets to provide minimum length, maximum surface area ground
conductors. If a leadwire must be used, use 14 AWG copper wire.
3.Make sure that mechanically tightened joints along the ground path are free of
nonconductive coatings and protected against corrosion on mating surfaces.
Use the shield of the signal wire to ground the device to the signal ground terminals 3(c) of
each device. Connect the shield at both ends of the daisy chain to earth ground.
IMPORTANT
A 13 Vdc power supply must be used any time more
than one KDM is used. A maximum of two KDM,
Data ControlBus™ Modules or S7810B Multi-Drop
Switch Modules are allowed in any combination.
9. Maximum wire lengths:
a.EC/RM7830A and EC/RM7850A leadwires: The
maximum leadwire length is 300 feet (91 meters)
to terminal inputs (Control, Running/Lockout
Interlock).
b.Flame Detector leadwires: The maximum flame
sensor leadwire length is limited by the flame
signal strength.
c.Remote Reset leadwires: The maximum length of
wire is 1000 feet (305 meters) to a Remote Reset
pushbutton.
d.Data ControlBus Module™: The maximum Data
ControlBus Module™ cable length depends on
the number of system modules connected, the
noise conditions and the cable used. The
maximum length of all Data ControlBus Module™
interconnecting wire is 4000 feet (1219 meters).
10. Be sure loads do not exceed the terminal ratings. Refer
to the label on the relay module or to the terminal
ratings in Tables 3A, 3B, 3C and 3D.
Final Wiring Check
1. Check the power supply circuit. The voltage and
frequency tolerance must match those of the relay
module. (A separate power supply circuit can be
required for the relay module.) Add the required
disconnect means and overload protection.
2. Check all wiring circuits and complete the Static
Checkout in Table 4 or 5 before installing the relay
module on the subbase.
3. Install the relay module.
4. Restore power to the panel.

Mounting EC/RM7830A;
EC/RM7850A Relay Module
1. Mount the relay module vertically on the Q7800
Subbase, or mount horizontally with the knife blade
terminals pointing down. When mounted on the
Q7800A, the relay module must be in an electrical
enclosure.
2. When mounting in an electrical enclosure, provide
adequate clearance for servicing, installation and
removal of the relay module, KDM, flame amplifier,
flame amplifier signal voltage probes, electrical signal
voltage probes and electrical connections.
a.Allow an additional 2 in. (51 mm) below the relay
module for the flame amplifier mounting.
b.Allow an optional 3 in. (76 mm) minimum on both
sides of the relay module for electrical signal
voltage probes.
3. Make sure no subbase wiring is projecting beyond the
terminal blocks. Tuck in wiring against the back of the
subbase so it does not interfere with the knife blade
terminals or bifurcated contacts.
IMPORTANT
Install the relay module with a plug-in motion rather
than a hinge action.
4. Mount the relay module by aligning the four L shaped
corner guides and knife blade terminals with the
bifurcated contacts on the wiring subbase and securely
tightening the two screws without def orming the plastic.
STATIC CHECKOUT
After checking all wiring, perform this checkout before
installing the relay module on the wiring subbase. These tests
verify that the Q7800 Wiring Subbase is wired correctly and
the external controllers, limits, interlocks, actuators, valves,
transformers, motors and other devices are operating
properly.
WARNING
Fire or Explosion Hazard.
Can cause property damage, severe injury
or death.
Close all manual fuel shutoff valves before starting
this test to prev ent an explosion.

restarts. If the condition is not corrected and the hold
condition exists for four minutes, the relay module locks out.
Causes for hold conditions in the INITIATE sequence:
a. AC line dropout detection.
b. AC line noise that can prevent a sufficient reading of the
line voltage inputs.
c. Low line voltage brownouts.
The INITIATE sequence also delays the burner motor starter
from being energized and de-energized from an intermittent
AC line input or control input.
Standby
The relay module is ready to start an operating sequence
when the operating control input determines a call for heat is
present. The burner switch, limits, operating limit control and
all microcomputer-monitored circuits must be in the correct
state for the relay module to continue into the PURGE
sequence.
Normal Start-Up Purge
The relay module provides PURGE timing selectable from two
seconds to thirty minutes with power applied and the
operating control indicating a call for heat.
1. The Preignition Interlocks, Limits and Burner Control,
Run/Test Switch, Airflow Switch Input, Lockout Input,
and all microcomputer-monitored circuits must also be
in the correct operating state.
2. The blower motor output, terminal 5, is powered to start
the PURGE sequence. The firing rate motor is driven to
the high fire position (EC/RM7850A). The PURGE
timing does not begin until the Airflow Switch Input and
High Fire Switch (EC/RM7850A) are both closed.
3. The Preignition Interlock Input must remain closed
throughout PURGE or a safety shutdown occurs.
4. The Airflow Switch Input must close by ten seconds into
PURGE or a safety shutdown occurs.
5. After the firing rate motor reaches the PURGE rate
position and PURGE timing is completed, the motor
drives to the low fire position (EC/RM7850A).
OPERATION
Sequence of Operation
The relay modules have the operating sequences listed
below; see Fig. 3 and 4. The relay module LED provide
positive visual indication of the program sequence: POWER,
PILOT, FLAME, MAIN and ALARM.
Initiate
The relay module enters the INITIATE sequence when the
relay module is initially powered. The relay module can also
enter the INITIATE sequence if the relay module verifies
voltage fluctuations of +10/-15% or frequency fluctuations of
±10% during any part of the operating sequence. The
INITIATE sequence lasts for two seconds unless the voltage
or frequency tolerances are not met. When not met, a hold
condition is initiated and displayed on the optional KDM for at
least five seconds; when met, the INITIATE sequence
66-1092—2
Ignition Trials
1. Preignition: With the firing rate motor at the low fire
position (EC/RM7850A), the ignition transformer,
terminal 10, is energized for three seconds.
2. First Safety Time (SAFETY1):
a.With the firing rate motor at the low fire position
(EC/RM7850A):
(1) The pilot valves and ignition transformer,
terminals 8, 10 and 21, are energized.
Terminal 8 is an interrupted pilot valve and
terminal 21 is an intermittent pilot valve.
(2) During SAFETY1, the Low Fire Switch Input
must be closed. If it opens, a safety
shutdown occurs (EC/RM7850A).
(3) The Preignition Interlock Input is ignored
during SAFETY1, PILOT STAB., MAIN
TRIAL, RUN and POSTPURGE.
b.Flame must be proven by the end of three or five
seconds to allow the sequence to continue. A
safety shutdown occurs if there is no flame.
3. Pilot stabilization (PILOT STAB.): With flame proven, the
ignition, terminal 10, is de-energized. The duration of
this state is five seconds.

4. Main T rial (MAIN TRIAL):
a.The MAIN TRIAL time is selectable as three or
five seconds. After PILOT STAB., and with the
presence of a flame, the main fuel valve, terminal
9, is powered. If a flameout occurs, the relay
module locks out within one or two seconds,
depending on the amplifier Flame Failure
Response Time (FFRT). Thus, the second safety
time is defined as MAIN TRIAL time plus the
amplifier FFRT.
b.During MAIN TRIAL, the Low Fire Switch Input
must be closed (EC/RM7850A). If it opens, a
safety shutdown occurs.
c.After three or five seconds of MAIN TRIAL,
terminal 8 is de-energized for main stabilization.
Flame must remain proven during this fivesecond period.

Postpurge
The relay module (model specific) provides a two-, 15- or 30second POSTPURGE following the completion of the RUN
period. The blower motor output is powered to drive all
combustion products and any unburned fuel from the
combustion chamber. It also supplies combustion air to burn
fuel being purged from the fuel line downstream from the fuel
shutoff valve.
1. The main fuel valve and the intermittent pilot valve,
terminals 9 and 21, are de-energized and the firing rate
motor is commanded to the low fire position
(EC/RM7850A) to begin the POSTPURGE period.
2. The Preignition Interlock Input is ignored during
POSTPURGE.
3. After the POSTPURGE period is completed, the relay
module re-enters STANDBY.
Run
1. The firing rate motor releases to modulation.
2. The relay module is now in RUN and remains in RUN
until the controller input, terminal 6, opens, indicating
that the demand is satisfied or a limit has opened.
Run/Test Switch
The Run/Test Switch is located on the top side of the relay
module, see Fig. 5. The Run/Test Switch allows the burner
sequence to be altered as follows:
1. In Purge Drive to High Fire position, the Run/Test
Switch, when placed in the TEST position, holds in
PURGE with the firing rate motor in the High Fire
position (EC/RM7850A).
15
66-1092—2
Page 16
EC7830, RM7830A,EC7850A,RM7850A 7800 SERIES RELAY MODULES
2. In the measured PURGE sequence, the Run/Test
Switch, placed in the TEST position, causes the
PURGE timing to stop. The firing rate motor is in the
High Fire position.
3. In Purge Drive to Low Fire position, the Run/Test
Switch, when placed in the TEST position, holds the
burner in PURGE with the firing rate motor in the Low
Fire position (EC/RM7850A).
4. During the PILOT STAB. period, the Run/Test Switch,
when placed in the TEST position, stops the timer,
allowing for pilot turn-down test and other burner
adjustments. This activates a 15-second flameout timer
that permits pilot flame adjustment without nuisance
safety shutdowns.
5. During Run, the Run/Test Switch, when placed in the
TEST position, drives the firing rate motor to the Low
Fire position.
IMPORTANT
When the relay module is switched to the TEST
mode, it stops and holds at the next Run/Test Switch
point in the operating sequence. Make sure that the
Run/Test Switch is in the RUN position before
leaving the installation.
SETTINGS AND ADJUSTMENTS
Selectable Site-Configurable Jumpers
The relay module has three site-configurable jumper options,
see Fig. 6 and Table 6. If necessary, clip the site-configurable
jumpers with side cutters and remove the resistors from the
relay module. The relay module reads the settings of these
configuration jumpers at startup. After 200 hours of main
valve operation, the relay module locks the jumper settings
into internal memory. If these jumpers are changed after the
200 hours occur, the relay module locks out. This safety
function assures that the relay module cannot be modified
after it is installed in a particular location.
If JR3 (Airflow Switch) is intact (no Airflow Switch), then a
jumper must be installed between terminals 6 and 7. If JR3 is
clipped (Airflow Switch is present), the relay module locks out
if it detects a jumper between terminals 6 and 7.
SERVICE NOTE:Clipping and removing a site-configurable
